They've set up a three zone system to manage the pike, as different regions have different eco systems. In some areas, the harvest will be greatly increased to try to prevent smaller "hammer handle" Northern Pike from destroying the pan fish population.

The DNR has made a huge effort in the past decade to educate the public. We're used to inspecting our boats and trailers for invasive species, but in some cases some of these species may spread and grow another way: boat lifts and docks.

In the past, if a hunter purchased a license after the season had already began, they needed to wait two days to hunt. This year that rule has been changed.

But honestly, it's not that hard to clean them right and get the y-bone out. Any experienced fishing guide knows this, and they also know they taste pretty darn good. (Sometimes, better than walleye... shocker!)

It was just outside of Remer, MN on our way back from Walker. He was standing in the ditch near the road lazily chewing his cud not really caring that we had stopped to gawk at him. I guess we were gawking because you just don't see that animal out in their natural habitat very often.

So, once again we'll try to remind everyone that it's not safe yet! Here are the guidelines straight from the Minnesota DNR.

On the opener, we would all go up to Island Lake, buy minnows and candy at Verns, and try our luck off the shore. We didn't catch a lot of fish, but whenever we caught our first one of the year, my dad would bite the head off it.

I'd even venture to guess with current ice conditions we could be fishing into April. ( As always, be careful... ice can break up fast once it warms up.) However, if you're planning on fishing past this Friday in Minnesota, you're going to need to renew your license.

Also, the ice has been starting to get a little thinner. This is normal for this time of year and the deadlines to remove ice shelters reflect that. In Minnesota, if you're south of the Highway 2 line you'll need to have your ice house off the lake by Monday March 4th.
